Huh.

- Mew.

- Huh.

Can you play that song for me?

Which one?

The one you played when we were kids.

Umm.

[playing grandma's song]

This one?

Someone moved into that place?

Huh.

Have you even seen her here?

Who's that?

Oh no, Nothing.

(Mew)

You haven't forgotten about her?

Tong, if you had a chance

to see Tang again,

what would you say to her?

I don't know.

I might ask, 'why?'.

Why?

Why did she leave us like this?

(sigh)

It's not her fault, Tong.

[knocking]

Oh, you've got a friend here?

Oh, I thought I would ask to

borrow your dictionary.

I can come back later.

Hey. It's ok.

It's ok, Mew.

It's time for me to go, anyway.

Let me walk you to the door.

It's ok. Find a dictionary for her first.

I'm going.

Your friend is cute.

Aah. Ying.

(Mama speaks Chinese)

You often go to Mew's place,

which is not so good.

People will start to talk.

- Ai Ya.

- Mama.

You don't need to nag her.

People know that Mew is a sissy boy.

Ahh. Why are you saying this?

Mew is not a sissy.

He is a real man.

You had better watch what you say. Whoo.

[It might have been a long time]

[It might have been so far away]

Very nice.

Really nice.

We will use this song to

promote your next album.

Umm June, please take them

to practice this evening.

Yes.

From now on, we will

practice at Saw Records.

- Reserve it.

- Right away.

Very nice.

Look at this.

Why isn't Tang in this picture?

She already had gone with her friends?

I can't remember.

And why don't you put out

pictures of her?

Because she isn't here anymore.

(Aex)

Hey Mew.

That chord, your A Flat Augmented Seven.

How do I play it?

Wan is playing keyboard.

Just ask him.

A Flat

C.

E.

E.

G.

Isn't that G Flat? Hey.

Yeah right, G Flat.

G Flat.

G Flat.

Oh oh.

Kinda difficult.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right.

G Flat.

I'm asking for A Flat Augmented Seven!

Isn't that funny?

Do you have an issue with him?

No no. Not really.

You're both in the same band.

Why don't you talk to each other?

Don't be angry with each other.

It's just something stupid.

Umm. They say.

People who are angry at each other

about silly things...

usually are the ones who care

about each other so much.

- Right?

- Right. Right. Ahh.

Are you crazy?

- Oh it's getting too far now.

- Oops.

Now.

Time's up. Go.

Continue practicing.

I'll get some snacks.

- Do you want anything?

- Yes, yes.

- Two Gob Gobs.

- I want Lays chips.

I'll be back.

(June)

Play well.

[phone ringing]

Hello, what's up Mew?

Are you busy? I have smething to show you.

Sure. Where are you?

Tong. Where're you going?

- Just out for a bit.

- Hey.

(music)

If life didn't have any meaning

would you feel like I feel?

That the days what we're together.

The days we were together

- Ah. Tong, come in

OK, this will be the last time.

We only have a few minutes left.

(music)

It might have been a long time

It might have been so far away

That we walked in our own way that day

There might be many people.

Hundreds or thousands of them

Who came into my life

and made it go around

Or because they are not you

And I hadn't found what I had lost

Or because that day what I did was wrong

and made it impossible for us

to go back to that day

Do you feel like I feel?

That a day without you

Life would not have any meaning

Do you feel like I feel?

That the days we were together.

The days we were together.

None of those days, were we unhappy

June, this is Tong.

Tong, this is June.

Your friend is so quiet.

Do you go to the same school?

I am in another school.

Oh really?

So, how did you get to know each other?

When we were kids, we were neighbors.

If you don't eat this, I'll take it.

(Ahh)

This one too.

- You don't have anything left?

- Ok, I'll give it back.

- Bye bye.

- Bye bye.

Go. Get in the car.

Ok, see you later.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Bye.

See you, Tong. Good luck, Mew.

Good luck guys... Good luck.

Umm. So, do you have to go home now?

What time is it?

[phone ringing]

Tong, do you think June looks like Tang?

Looks like her so much

that I get goose pimples.

- Do you think it's possible that?

- It's impossible, Mew.

There are many look-alikes.

(Tong)

So, Mew, how have you been?

Fine. Playing my music is fun.

But you are alone. Aren't you lonely?

Frighteningly lonely.

What do you mean? "Frighteningly lonely"?

It's like when we were younger.

We were so lonely because we

didn't have alot friends.

And now that we are grown up

loneliness seems so much worse.

Why is it so bad for you?

I don't know how to explain it.

It started during the summer

when I was in 8th Grade.

Papa took grandma somewhere

for 3 or 4 days.

And the day she came back

I heard that when I was away,

you were so stubborn.

[camera shutter]

(Mew)

It's not easy at all,

because the longer my grandma is gone

the more I miss her.

So I have one question.

If we can love someone so much

how will we be able to handle it the

one day when we are separated?

And, if being separated is a part of life,

and you know about separation well,

is it possible, Tong

that we can love someone and

not be afraid of ever losing them?

(Mew)

At the same time, I was also wondering.

Is it possible that,

we can live our entire life

without loving anyone at all?

That's my loneliness.

I have lived with it now for 5 years.

I know just how bad loneliness feels.

I fear it will continue to get worse.

Mew.

You were sound asleep in my arms, I tried not

to wake you. Tong.

[phone beeping]

Thanks for staying. I hope you got home safely. Mew.

(Aod)

Aex.

Try it again.

(Sound Engineer)

Ok. Go ahead.

Using a computer? Then why are we here?

Oh be quiet, it's fine.

Enough, enough. Aex. Enough.

Hey, stay calm. Start over, ok?

(Ying)

Joy, I did it, but I got no reaction.

If you like him,

why don't you just tell him directly?

Why believe that sort of book?

If you believe in it,

you'll never have a boyfriend.

- It's nonsense, isn't it?

- Ahh.

I got it from your house, Joy.

Oh, that's mine?

Her house doesn't have that book. Are you sure?

Hello girls.

This is my friend, Tong.

- Hello.

- Ahh.

- Ahh.

- Sit down. Sit.

Use the microphone. Behind you.

Aex, when you played the guitar,

did you tune it up?

That's ok. Start over.

- June, June.

- Yes.

- Get a pack of Paracetamol Cigs for me.

- Ok.

You sure one pack is enough?

Ying, why don't you eat?

She is doing some voodoo stuff.

Just leave her alone.

Voodoo? What are you doing?

Just don't listen to her.

I'm on diet.

Let me tell you

She saw it in a book

that if you want someone to love you,

you have stick his hair into a Teddy bear.

and then don't eat meat for 3 days.

So, who do you like, Ying?

It's her neighbor, Mew.

(Ying)

JOY!

None of your business.

- Let me out.

- Where are you going?

Wait for me. Where are you going?

Hey. I think it's getting weird.

I think it's getting weird too.

Hey. Hey.

Gosh, so who will pay now?

- I don't have enough money.
